Christmas Tree Pickin'

8 December 2010

This evening my fiancé, pupsicle and I went to get our very first Christmas tree in our new home! I was so excited! And now our house and car smell divine! It's not decorated yet so I won't show a picture of it but we picked a pretty big/full one.

As for my outfit, you'll have to excuse the crappy mirror pictures taken by yours truly! My camera doesn't have a timer and my photographer fiancé was at work. I'm wearing my new cardigan which I love. It's much longer than I thought it was and also super warm!

As far as make-up goes, today was the awful day that my Bare Minerals foundation ran out. I could have cried...I also got the shade Medium (I usually wear Medium Beige) in my Get Started Kit, but that's too light for me. Lucky for me, I had lots of MAC Studio Moisture Tint thanks to my lovely reader/subscriber. So here I'm wearing it in the shade Medium Dark. Light and Medium Light were too pale for me and this shade suits my skin tone perfectly! I think that from now on, I'm done with heavy make-up. It's either mineral foundation or tinted moisturizer...the other is just too cakey. On my lips I have on Eyeko Minty Fat Balm. I'm wearing my hair in a French plait (watch how I do it here)...I think I was feeling the Lara Croft look with my combat pants tucked into my boots, hahaha!

This is definitely one of my favourite outfits! I love the cardigan, I have a similar one that is shorter and I really like to wear it. You look so pretty in these pictures btw!

I also totally agree with you on not wearing heavy make-up any more. Your Bare Minerals review encouraged me to try out some mineral foundation and I love it so much. I always hated the cakeyness (does this word exist?!?) of most liquid make-ups and now my skin looks so natural and even! A huge thank you for that helpful review!!!

First you look great, second I envy you because I can't have my tree until the 13Th =(, kind of a family tradition. Here in Spain we celebrate saints Do you know what it is? Like every saint has his day and mine is December 13Th and since I can remember I was only allowed to get my Christmas tree on that day and...well let's say I'm too scared to disobey my mum and break traditions =)

I'm 30 years old, married to Jonathan and mummy to five year old Emilia, four year old Eduardo, one year old Alessia and expecting a baby boy in August 2018! We also have six Maltese dogs and our house is basically a zoo.

I used to love fashion & makeup a lot (I still do even if I'm normally covered in snot or milk stains) I've always loved food and I never skip dessert!
